Once upon a time in a small village nestled within the lush green hills, there lived a young girl named Lily. Lily always had a smile on her face, and her infectious laughter could be heard echoing through the streets. Despite living a modest life, she had never let it dampen her spirits. Her days were filled with simple joys and limitless dreams.
Lily's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andersonwere hardworking farmers who owned a small piece of land. They had instilled in Lily the importance of hard work and gratitude. Despite the challenges they faced, their love for each other and their only daughter never wavered.
Lily's days were spent helping her parents with various farming chores. She loved the feeling of the soft soil between her fingers and the gentle breeze caressing her cheeks. The smell of freshly blossomed flowers surrounding the fields would always bring a smile to her face.
In the evenings, Lily would often sit under a towering oak tree and gaze at the night sky, envisioning distant worlds beyond her reach. She believed that anything was possible if you set your mind to it. Her parents cherished her innocent dreams, always encouraging her to never stop reaching for the stars.
One sunny morning, while Lily was tending to the garden, a lively butterfly caught her attention. It had vibrant colors, unlike any she had ever seen before. Entranced by its beauty, she followed it through the garden, stopping only when it landed on a fallen log. As she approached, she noticed a tiny blue bottle nestled among the leaves.
Curiosity overwhelmed her, and she gingerly picked up the bottle. Inside, a small piece of rolled-up parchment awaited her. Her heart racing with excitement, she carefully unrolled it, and to her amazement, words began to form on the parchment.
“Dear Lily, if you are reading this, you have been chosen for a remarkable journey. Within this bottle lies magical dust that will grant you one wish. Use it wisely, dear child, for it can change the course of your life. Remember, sometimes the life we live is not always the one we are destined for. Signed, A Friend."
Lily's eyes widened with wonder and her mind buzzed with possibilities. Thoughts of adventures and endless opportunities swirled through her imagination. She clutched the bottle tightly, knowing that this was her chance to make her dreams come true.
As the sunset, Lily sat on her bed, contemplating her wish. The idea of leaving her loving parents behind made her heart heavy. She had all she needed – a loving family, a cozy home, and the beauty of nature that surrounded her. Yet, a tiny voice within her urged her to seek what lay beyond the hills, to explore uncharted territories.
She spent a restless night trying to decipher her innermost desires. The next morning, as sunlight streamed through the window, Lily knew what she had to do. She filled the bottle with magical dust, clutching it tightly in her hands. With tears in her eyes, she kissed her parents goodbye, promising to return one day.
Lily embarked on an extraordinary journey, venturing through dense forests, crossing treacherous rivers, and scaling steep mountains. She encountered enchanting creatures and befriended wise old wizards who guided her along the way. Each step brought her closer to discovering the life she truly longed for.
Months turned into years, and Lily grew wiser and bolder. She explored distant lands and pursued her passion for art and storytelling. She used her innate abilities to bring joy and happiness to those she met. The love for her parents never diminished. She was determined to return to them one day, to share her adventures and make them proud.
As Lily journeyed back home, she encountered a familiar gentle breeze that caressed her cheeks. The hills she once called home stood majestically, welcoming her once again. She raced through the fields, her laughter filling the air, until she reached the small house she had left behind.
Her parents, now older and wiser, awaited her with open arms and tearful eyes. Lily hugged them tightly, their embrace speaking volumes of love and longing. She shared her stories, showed them the wonders she had witnessed, and the lessons she had learned. They listened with joy, knowing that their daughter had found the life she was destined to live.
The elders also said "Everyone has their own ambition in life that want to pursue someday and enjoy the fruits of their hardship as they reached and achieved those dreams. But here are some important things that people should consider, first are their dream is realistic? Do they plan their dream? And do they meet their goals through the plans they made? Of course, everyone has thought in their mind on what course they want or not. But another thing to consider is they really want this? Or people around them pushed them to take it? Or parent’s choice? Or others choice?
One of the dreamers is me. And what I dream about is to be successful woman someday in my chosen career. I dream about having a place that my family could enjoy to. And that place is building a super home, an ‘SM’ feature like, a place where my family would not go outside to buy their needs, everything is on their hands and could enjoy from it. I want to build something that I can call mine and chase it! I want to be the one who plans for it! Who make for it! And who enjoy for it! My father once said it was rare to have a woman in engineering courses it looks like they are almighty and extraordinary in my father’s generation. Woman are not capable of being an engineer they said, but I do not believe them! I know in God nothing is impossible so why doubt? I have faith and I know I have the courage to chase my dreams! So, I plan, I plan to successfully finish my studies in BS Civil Engineering in this school and to pass the boards and be a successful engineer. By that, I could easily build my ambition. I am listing my plans and assuring them to achieve it. I know I am not finish yet. This is just my first stepping stone and I will assure to make my dreams come true."
In the days that followed, Lily's village became a hub of inspiration and creativity. The tales of her adventures filled the hearts and minds of many. The once-mundane village transformed into a place where dreams flourished, and the impossible became possible. It was a testament to Lily's resilience, her unceasing search for her true calling.
Lily had discovered that the life she lived was not one where circumstances defined her, but rather one where she defined herself. The magical bottle had gifted her the courage to explore, the strength to overcome obstacles, and the wisdom to embrace the path that led her to fulfillment.
And so, Lily continued to live her life with boundless determination and an unwavering smile on her face, inspiring others to chase their wildest dreams and find the life they were destined to live.
